Lick an orange, it tastes like an orange. Lick a pineapple, it tastes like a pineapple. Go ahead, try it. Try some more. The strawberries taste like strawberries. The snozzberries taste like snozzberries! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams. Come along, come along.

Re: Amon Tobin

Ive been stoked for the Ninjatune XX since it was announced in the Summer. I saw Amon Tobin on a boat last year with surround and baring the incredible all around production of the Chemical Brothers it was the best DJ set I've ever seen.

How isn't this guy a regular at festivals? He played Bonaroo 1 LOL. Daedalus + Tobin back to back would be so filthy in the Sahara but they would never get the time slot they deserve =(

Re: Amon Tobin

We had to walk like 10 blocks then waited in line for over an hour. I was going to smuggle a bottle of patron in but we ended up just crushing it waiting in line. It was already an hour and a half behind schedule and I heard Eskmo playing and watching people cut in line I was getting pissed. I just decided to roll up to the front cut in line and walk in.

The whole party was great, I was drunk as fuck. The videos came out ok, the crowd was sorta thin so I was able to get up close no problem, but I was dancing around and didn't keep the camera steady. As always, the audio is solid. Use a program to convert the youtube vids into mp3's if you want to put it on your ipod.

Amon Tobin is incredible. Easily the best DJ I've ever seen. How he isn't huge I don't understand. Maybe he doesn't want to be? Seriously put this shit in the Sahara late night and people will explode.

On another note, DJ Kentaro followed Tobin's set and threw down really hard. Was a nice surprise and added a lot to the lineup. I wish Eskmo wouldn't have played first because the 10 mins I saw was pretty killer.

Re: Amon Tobin

I agree. I was impressed with a lot of the artists at Ninja Tune XX having not heard much from most of them, but Amon Tobin was the only reason I went. He completely and utterly destroyed the crowd. What a brilliant, talented man. I wish he was around more often, but either way. This was a really special set. He made me want to throw away a large portion of my music collection.
